How did one hacker group plunge an entire city into darkness?
The Iranian hacker group Cyber Avengers, also known as CyberAv3ngers, has claimed responsibility for the recent power outages in the city of Yavneh, Israel. The situation has escalated to such an extent that local authorities, including the mayor, are demanding urgent measures. The incident occurred shortly after claims of a possible cyber war in the region, which made it particularly relevant for cybersecurity experts.
The group "Cyber Av3ngers" published a video showing the allegedly hacked power grid management systems.
Israeli authorities have not confirmed that the power outages were caused by a hacker attack. A representative of the Israeli electricity supply company IEC said that the cause of the outages was a technical fault. He also added that the company is investigating the incident and cooperating with law enforcement agencies.
Cybersecurity experts are calling for more thorough checks and increased protection of critical infrastructure to avoid similar incidents in the future. Special attention is paid to improving protection against cyber attacks, as well as training personnel to detect and prevent possible threats in a timely manner.
According to the Mayor of Yavne, frequent power outages caused millions of shekels ' worth of property damage. Given the financial losses and threat to life, it is extremely important to find out the true cause of these incidents.
The Yavna incident was a reminder of the importance of paying attention to cybersecurity in the modern world, especially in light of the threat of cyberwarfare. The need to strengthen security measures for critical infrastructure is becoming increasingly clear.
The situation in the Middle East has escalated to the extreme. Today, Israel and Palestine are engaged in a full-fledged war that threatens to escalate into a regional conflict. Iran has expressed its support for the Palestinians who are shelling Israeli cities from the Gaza Strip. Israel retaliates with massive airstrikes on Gaza, destroying three-story buildings and killing senior Hamas officials.
In July 2023, the group staged an attack on the site of the largest oil refinery in Israel, which is located in Haifa. The factory's website was unavailable for several hours, but production was not affected. The group "Cyber Av3ngers" published a video showing the allegedly hacked plant management systems. There was also a message on the video: "We are the cyber avengers. We burned your oil. Wait for us."
